Customer Reviews

For a long time, Laguiole knives enjoyed an outstanding reputation for quality and durability (I recently visited that region of France, and interestingly enough the town of Laguiole changed its name due the flooding of the marketplace with inferior Chinese imitations bearing its name). I purchased a set of Dubost flatware in blue on clearance several years ago, and use it to set my holiday table. (I also purchased the matching set of Laguiole spreaders in blue when they were still available). Laguiole flatware really dresses up any meal. Sur La Table describes this set as 25/10, however, I strongly suspect it is actually the lighterweight 15/10 as the knife in particular feels very light (the metal for the fork is actually thicker / heavier than the knife). Also, the finishing on the handles feels rough in some spots. Despite the fact that it claims to be dishwasher-safe, I always hand wash mine as I am afraid of the handles cracking. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and is made in France (cheap Chinese knockoffs with matching logos and boxes seem to have flooded the market; I've seen them turn up at various discount retailers). It is a beautiful addition to my table, but I save it for special occasions and am not sure it would stand up to the wear and tear of my everyday stainless flatware

From the standpoint of aesthetics and functionality, this flatware is marvelous. We're not sure to think of it as elegantly casual or casually elegant. We enjoy using it with a variety of dinnerware and almost feel as if we are in France at these meals. We are fussy about serrated knives, and this one is particularly good

Absolutely beautiful! First of all, made in France - SOLD! I love all things French. A cute little bee embossed on each piece. Rich ivory handles make these pieces stunning. Can't wait to set my table with them.

We already have 4 place settings and enjoyed using this flatware, so added another 4 place settings for company meals. I especially like the rounded knife blade versus the very sharp alternative offered elsewhere. Granted the teaspoon and salad forks are tiny compared to USA standards, we've adjusted. So far does well in our dishwasher too.

Best Answer:Not sure of the composition of the material, however does not chip - can even go in the dishwasher - I purchase this product for my daughter's family and she uses it frequently and loves it.
